Recovery Supportive Living Assistance (RSLA) Program

Instructions to obtain a SAM.GOV UEI as of July 1, 2024

As of July 1, 2024, this project requires that any entity working with Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government be registered and active in SAM.GOV. If you are already registered within SAM.gov, provide your Unique Entity ID (UEI) on the new RSLA application. You must also alert us if your entity’s information has been made private.

Register on SAM.GOV if you do not already have a UEI number, as that may take up to 10 days to process. (Note: Must be renewed annually)

As of July 1, 2024, no RSLA applications will be accepted, nor will payments be processed to any residence without an UEI on your application.

A new list of required documentation for each client will also be posted here on July 5th.

New applications for the RSLA program will be posted on July 5. July's window for RSLA applications will be open until July 20.

Check back here on July 5 for the new RSLA application and list of required documents.

Recovery housing addresses the need for safe, healthy, affordable, illicit substance-free housing for those with substance use disorder. The program provides peer and recovery support to a person in early recovery from substance use disorder.  

The Recovery Supportive Living Assistance (RSLA) Program helps people in Fayette County who have trouble paying to enter or continue in recovery housing. You will receive assistance if all eligibility criteria are met, and funding is available. LFUCG will coordinate with the owner or operator of the recovery residence to provide up to $500 in assistance for a resident entering or continuing in recovery housing.

It is important to complete all sections of the application and attach a copy of the program agreement signed by the resident and a representative from the recovery residence. The application provides additional information regarding recovery housing requirements.

Recovery residences participating in the RSLA Program must be Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) suppliers. To become a supplier of LFUCG, complete and return the new supplier form and a W-9 for the recovery residence as an email attachment to Carmen Combs Marks at ccombs@lexingtonky.gov.

Incomplete applications, including applications that do not contain required documentation in PDF format, are not eligible for consideration. DO NOT UPLOAD DOCUMENTATION AS PICTURE FILES. ALL UPLOADED FILES MUST BE IN PDF FORMAT.
